Ingredients

  • A little oil
  • 6 large British Lion eggs beaten
  • 1 tbsp chives chopped
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 3 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 1 tbsp horseradish sauce
  • A little lemon juice
  • To serve – salad leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 160C fan / Gas Mark 4. Grease four ramekins with a little oil then use the smoked salmon to line the inside of each ramekin leaving no gaps and leaving enough hanging over the edges to cover the tops later.
  • Once lined, cut any remaining salmon into small pieces and add to the beaten eggs, along with the chives. Season well with salt and black pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the lined ramekins, then gently fold over the salmon.
  • Place the ramekins on a baking tray, pour water in the tray to around 5cm depth, then bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until set and firm to the touch.
